Cannuccia

ca. 1230–50
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Questi oggetti sacri, sontuosamente ornati con motivi disegnati da un sottile fil di ferro e da immagini a repoussé e niello, furono creati per essere utilizzati durante la messa: un piattino (patena) per il pane e un calice con cannuccia per il vino. Le cannucce, spesso in coppia, erano talvolta usate per evitare di versare il vino consacrato come sangue di Cristo. Sul calice e sulla patena sono abbinate scene della vita di Cristo con storie del Vecchio Testamento che ne rappresentano il prologo. La coppa del calice è decorata tutt’intorno dai dodici apostoli, mentre san Trudperto, patrono del monastero nei pressi di Freiburg im Breisgau da cui provengono questi oggetti, è in grande risalto sulla patena, di fronte a Cristo nel medaglione in alto.
